Far Yeast Brewing to Release ‘Far Yeast Peach Haze’ Made with 500 kg of Yamanashi-Grown Peaches
Far Yeast Brewing will begin selling ‘Far Yeast Peach Haze’ on April 15, using 500 kg of peaches from Peach Specialty Yamashita, a peach farm in Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture. From its source brewery in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi, the brewery is once again bringing back its spring-summer seasonal fruit pale ale.
Hop BroFrom April 15, Far Yeast Peach Haze is here. Far Yeast Brewing has used a full 500 kg of Yamanashi peaches to put out a beer that’s perfect for spring and summer.
MugiWhoa, 500 kg of peaches!? That’s not brewery-level commitment, that’s fruit shop-level seriousness! Is it really okay to put that much into beer?
Hop BroAbsolutely. That’s where they show their skill. They’re working with Peach Specialty Yamashita, a peach farm in Yamanashi City, and through the Brewed with YAMANASHI initiative, they’re turning the region’s appeal into beer properly.
MugiI see! But Fruited Hazy Pale Ale sounds like a spell or something... Hazy means the cloudy kind, right?
Hop BroExactly. In simple terms, it’s an easy-drinking pale ale with a cloudy look. Since this is a Fruited Hazy Pale Ale, the goal is to make the peach fruit character the star while keeping the mouthfeel soft and smooth.
MugiThat already sounds delicious before even drinking it! And with 5.0% alcohol, it seems easy to enjoy casually too.
Hop BroWhat really works there is the Pomona yeast. It tends to bring out citrus and tropical aromas, and its role is to gently lift the peach aroma.
MugiWow, so there’s an aroma support squad beyond just the peaches! And Idaho7 Cryo too? Those names sound way too powerful!
Hop BroGood catch. They’re also using Citra and Nectaron, layering in tropical and citrus notes so the peach’s natural sweetness doesn’t get buried.
MugiAnd it’s been going since 2020, so it’s already a spring-summer staple! If it comes out every year, I could easily start treating it as a seasonal tradition.
Hop BroThat’s right. Shipping starts on April 16. It’ll be available in 350 ml cans and 15 L kegs, with online sales shipping sequentially from April 17, so if you spot it, you’ll want to grab it early.
MugiAlright, now I’m in the mood to toast with a peach hazy right away! Hop, after reading this I’m even more thirsty for beer!
A spring-summer staple centered on Yamanashi peaches
Far Yeast Brewing has begun selling ‘Far Yeast Peach Haze’ on April 15. This hazy-style fruit pale ale uses a generous 500 kg of peaches from Peach Specialty Yamashita, a peach farm in Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture.
The company has established its source brewery in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, and has continued making beer that makes use of the region’s local character. One part of that effort is ‘Brewed with YAMANASHI’. Through collaborations with local agricultural products and producers, the series is being developed to share the appeal of Yamanashi through beer.
A recipe designed to highlight peach aroma
This year’s ‘Far Yeast Peach Haze’ is a Fruited Hazy Pale Ale with an alcohol content of 5.0% and IBU 10. It uses Pomona yeast, often used in Hazy IPAs, to enhance the impression of peach with aromas reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruit.
The dry hop bill also combines Idaho 7 Cryo, Citra, and Nectaron, layering in tropical aromatic depth. The result is a design that balances the natural aroma of peaches with hop-derived citrus character and a smooth mouthfeel.
Why it continues to be loved
‘Far Yeast Peach Haze’ first appeared in 2020 as the first release in the “Yamanashi Support Project” and has returned every year since, making it a popular product. Since 2022, it has been positioned as a spring-summer staple, and in 2024 the project name was refreshed to ‘Brewed with YAMANASHI’.
Shipments begin sequentially from April 16 to liquor stores, restaurants, and beer bars nationwide. It will also begin shipping sequentially from the official online store on April 17. Available in 350 ml cans and 15 L kegs, it is a beer that can be enjoyed both at retail locations and at home.
This new release clearly reflects Yamanashi peaches and the accumulation of local brewing. It is a noteworthy release not only for fans of fruity hazy beers, but also for anyone following beers made with regionally sourced ingredients.
